Tiamat: Who fits it best?

I've been wondering which champs can take advantage of Tiamat the best to get the most out of the AoE effect. It's a stupidly cheap for a +50AD item and that's probably because finding a way to really utilize the AoE is problematic. Specifically, the AoE with on-hit effects like Trist's explosive shot. While Tiamat doesn't proc on the explosion AoE from Trist (thank god, that would be so OP), does it proc on other champ area-type attacks that are actual attacks like Nocturne's Umbra Blades? Never tested it so no clue there.

Who are some good champs to abuse what I think is a very underrated item?

Tiamat is fun on gangplank only as a sort of "joke" build, but it's still fun nevertheless. His Parrrley ability (a short-ranged gunshot) procs on-hit effects such as Tiamat so you can hit people out of range with it for surprisingly high damage, especially if it crits.

Yeah but for that matter any ranged AD carry could do the same, some possible better like Ashecrit.

I know there are more effective items out there. But for 210g more than a BF sword you get a BF and a mini-philo stone* (the AoE is just a bonus) which isn't that bad at all.

*edit: on mana-starved melee's that's not too shabby. AD and hp/mana regen in a single slot.

Tiamat passive procs off wriggles means you have fastest farming in entire game after two items (and then even more with tiamat stacking.) The manaregen means you can give golem buff away, when normally he's very mana hungry.
